¡Feliz
Navidad! A pair of titles for a popular holiday.
Primera
Navidad
(First Christmas)
The story of the birth of Jesus Christ is told by Zeke, Joseph's
faithful and hardworking donkey. Zeke spins his tale in playful
verse, telling of the events that lead up to the wonderous moment
of the birth of baby Jesus. As he tells us at the end of his story,
"'Twas a night to remember, I'll never forget, When Jesus
the Christ child and I first met." Primera Navidad is beautifully
illustrated by Adel Nasief, an accomplished Coptic Christian artist
who lives and works in Alexandria, Egypt.
Fiestas
del mundo: Celebremos la navidad
(Holidays of the World: Celebrating Christmas)
December 25th is a day of peace and festivity, the culmination
of a season of worldwide goodwill. Carol singers give voice to
the joyful spirit, trees are decorated, and gifts exchanged between
families and friends. A namecheck of the gift-bearers awaited
by children reflects the global nature of the celebration: Pere
Noel in France, Santa Claus in America, La Befana in Italy, and
the Three Kings of Hispanic cultures. With first-person narrative,
informative back matter, and evocative photography, Celebremos
la Navidad is a rich historical and cultural resource for children.
